Confirmed. GM originally told me they might have a new one for lease last year, then told me they had discontinued the program. You can get a Ranger EV from Ford although it will be a refurb rather than new, and will therefor probably not qualify for the CARB rebate. If you wa...

Actually, the NiMH EV1 has 26 batteries, just like the PbA. The nominal voltage of the NiMH EV1 is 343 volts, whereas the PbA car is nominally 312 volts. The NiMh Ovonic battery does have 11 cells, 13.2 volts nominal, but it is the same size as the 12.0 v Panasonic PbA battery...
